11/8/2018: A court says Orange Hitler can’t cancel DACA. So now it will go to the supreme court where 9 objective and nonpartisan judges will make a fair and reasonable interpretation of the appeals court decision and decide whether or not it was a correct decision. What’s that? 5 of the members of the supreme court are Republican lackeys and there’s no way in hell they decide this fairly? Yeah, I guess you’re right. Bummer.

11/7/2018: In a shocking development, I actually agree with one of Orange Hitler’s evangelical dogs. The president of the family research council (an organization which does not deserve capitalization or existence) claimed that Orange Hitler’s immigration policies are biblical. Now I understand that this piece of shit snake oil salesman meant that as a compliment to these abhorrent policies. But that’s where we diverge. Any marginally sane review of the bible reveals an incredibly inconsistent and contradictory document that espouses, among other atrocities, child sacrifice, torturing believers as part of a bet, slavery, wholesale genocide of a city based on a disliked morality, and, famously, draconian punishments like an eye for an eye. I get that the new testament is more chill but it’s no less crazy. The point is – yeah – I agree that Orange Hitler’s policies are biblical: insane, horrific, inconsistent, and completely misrepresented.

11/6/2018: I live in the same city as Orange Hitler. But while he’s reinforced by hundreds of republikkkan congressional reps, I don’t have a single rep in either chamber of our fucked up government who represents me and can actually cast a vote. And because the last thing the red-I mean-racist states will ever allow is another state with two likely blue senators, I think I’ll be worm food before the district gets taxation with representation. So I’m not really that excited about the possible blue wave. Let’s say the absolute best case happens and the donkeys take the house and senate. There’s still a solidly republican Supreme Court majority that will destroy any fair legislation and a wannabe dictator who will veto anything decent. I don’t know. I get that I’m a cynical prick but this just feels like “where you progressive assholes 2 years ago?” And meanwhile, Orange Hitler’s border stormtroopers are preparing (or at least pretending to do so; jingoistic campaign rallying anyone?) face off with a caravan that is full of women and children as if it was a military force.

11/5/2018: A sliver of hope: if the perpetually self destructive Democrats take the house, they might be able to harass or slow down Orange Hitler’s racist immigration machine. I have as much faith in the Democratic party’s to accomplish anything as I do in my ability to stop compulsively eating Cinnabon whenever I’m within a mile of that particular rollmonger.

11/4/2018: I don’t normally call for an abortion after the child has been born and I know it’s been multiple decades since this particular infant was born. But I would love to see some mystical demigod remove Orange Hitler’s eldest piece of shit son from the universe. Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t want him dead. I want him sent to an alien prison where he will be tortured for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, most of my dreams don’t come true. What are ya gonna do? Life’s not fair. Orange Hitler Jr. was crying because CNN would not run his despicable father’s blatantly racist ad. Most voters are incredibly stupid so this ad will probably work well for the Republikkkans in the midterms.

10/31/2018: The monsters are feeding on each other today! Orange Hitler went after one of his chief lieutenants, calling Paul Ryan ignorant on birthright citizenship. That’s remarkable considering Orange Hitler may be the most ignorant public figure in the history of American politics. And that is saying something. In my ideal scenario, 45 and his former loyal lackey Paul Ryan would shoot each other in the head, preferably with Mitch McConnel firing as well, pulling off the most ironic Mexican standoff ever. I can dream, right?

10/30/2018: Just when I think Orange Hitler can’t go lower he exceeds my expectations. Now the prince of shit is claiming that he can end birthright citizenship with an executive order. Who knows if he can legally do this. But if he tries it and it goes to the Supreme Court to validate – aha – I have a feeling his quintet of evil just might see it as constitutionally valid. I need to get out of this place.

10/27/2018: In a pretty shocking development (at least to my cynical ass), some of Orange Hitler’s strongest backers endorsed DEMOCRATS! Is there a crack in the racist regime?

10/26/2018: In a move that everyone should have seen coming and has no doubt made the KKK, the Alt Right, and Republican voters everywhere (but I repeat myself) cheer, Orange Hitler is considering closing the border to Central American refugees. Why don’t we just skip all these gradual steps and just declare that only white folks can immigrate to the USA?

10/24/2018: A person I admire and respect who happens to be related to me (in my opinion that’s a very rare combination) posted these words about Orange Hitler’s doubling down on barbaric immigration policies: (My smart ass doesn’t need to add anything)

“The Trump administration has decided to double down on their anti-immigrant rhetoric and fear mongering. They believe it is an issue that’ll win them seats in November.

I see these images, and I can’t understand it. No one walks one thousand miles without desperate need. No one walks one thousand miles without obligation.

These parents are full filling a moral obligation to their children that far supersedes any other: the obligation to give them a chance at life.

If you don’t see your children in these pictures, I’d urge you to look closer.

10/17/2018: Orange Hitler’s shitbag scion thinks Beto O’Rourke is pretending to be Hispanic. As with everything any Orange Hitler clan member says, it is of course demonstrably false. I would say that the Orange Hitler clan is pretending to be human. And not doing a very good job.

10/16/2018: You wanna know what people who are not racist don’t do? They never post racist memes, jokes, or rants to social media. In a shocking development, yet another republikkkan politician is exposed for what they are and what their voters are: racist.

10/15/2018: One of Orange Hitler’s most despicable lieutenants has been abandoned by the state’s normally conservative newspaper, much to their credit. One of the reasons the paper cited for endorsing the Democratic candidate is this racist lieutenant’s obsession with neo-nazi groups. While I respect the editorial board’s endorsement, I believe there was an error in the paragraph concerning white nationalists groups. The authors claimed this lieutenant was obsessed with racist groups but failed to point out that his political party IS A RACIST GROUP. This is the party of the southern strategy, David Duke, very fine people on both sides, voter ID laws, inhumane immigration policies, and so much more.

10/14/2018: The candidate with the most support for the Republican nomination for president in 2020, once again, is orange Hitler aka Trump. After 2 years of transparently racist and corrupt and unethical and illegal behavior, the republican voting bloc still wants Trump back. As a minority please tell me why I should be open to ANY non-essential interactions with GOP voters?

10/13/2018: I would never encourage any food service professional to mess with a customer’s food. Even if that customer was the septic sore known as Stephen Miller, Trump’s chief Immigration Racist. Seriously food people of the world, don’t do anything to this waste of human shit. It would make me so sad.

10/8/2018: Meanwhile, the idiot monster is still running homeland security. This is the same (redacted) that said there was no child separation policy despite her actually having signed a memo authorizing said separation. How does someone so stupid and unethical succeed? Oh wait – this is Earth.

10/7/2018: Ariel Dumas has my complete and unabiding support. She tweeted that she was glad “we” ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life. I really do hope his life is ruined. I hope a whole lot for evil shit for his malignant ass. But sadly, he’s got the backing of 99% of the power and wealth of the country. Not to mention the right’s mouth breathing stormtroopers have threatened Dr. Ford’s life. I feel really bad that he won’t be able to coach his kids’ basketball games without having to worry his criminal, rapist heart of social ostracization. If you don’t think the GOP Reich getting their man on the court will further damage marginalized people (of which immigrants are certainly representative), then save yourself and blacklist this blog.

10/6/2018: This day has been coming since Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the Supreme Court in late June. As a former refugee and naturalized citizen I’ve already begun researching new countries to call home. Kavanaugh is only another of this administration’s dogs. Another stormtrooper for the GOP, America’s Nazi party. Luckily I have dual citizenship and strong connections in multiple nations. For a few minutes today I was ashamed to be a citizen of the country of Alexander Hamilton. But I steered myself back My code. I constantly tell myself that expecting anything but disappointment from humanity (and Americans are definitely contenders for TRUE human beings) is a fool’s errand. But the old 80’s sitcom brainwashing and catholic horseshit dogma about the inherent goodness of people clouded my mind for a moment the last week or so. I used to never get why a pair of rich, famous guys like Phil Jackson and Harrison Ford lived in secluded areas of the country, far away from dense population centers. I haven’t wondered that in a long time. Fuck America and its racist, zombie (that’s not fair; zombies are egalitarian) horde of an electorate. I’m rambling. I’m not saying I’m rooting for an extinction level asteroid impact or bubonic plague level pandemic. I’m rooting for an asteroid full of every plague. Fuck America. Fuck the right. Fuck all this shit.

10/5/2018: Lets clear up some abortion bullshit. When the Kavanaugh buttressed (or whatever other neonazi rapist jurist gets appointed by TrumpHitler) Court outlaws abortion, the only people who aren’t going to be able to get safe abortions are poor people (More than a few refugees fall into that economic slice). Kavanaugh’s daughters will probably have one or more abortion each but some Toronto physician or discreet Washington D.C. area wealth sycophant with an M.D. will take care of it for them. Every time a poor woman dies from a botched, DIY abortion, I hope Susan Collin’s heart stops. I know. That’s crazy. You’d have to have a heart for it to stop.

10/4/2018: So the FBI report says alleged rapist Brett Kavanaugh did absolutely nothing wrong. I haven’t even been able to listen to any news today. Rapist Kavanaugh is no friend to immigrants. I know it’s crazy that yet another white GOP male doesn’t give a shit about anyone outside his tribe. I really gotta start looking into countries that are looking for immigrants. I’m completely embarrassed to be an Americana and even more embarrassed to be a Democrat. The left has been completely dominated by evil. But hey! While the country turns back to the middle ages, democratic politicians can take comfort that celebrities really like them.

10/3/2018: The GOP’s traditional masters (big business) also think orange hitler’s amoral immigration policies are terrible for the economy. I personally can’t believe a businessman who has multiple bankruptcies on his record cannot understand basic economic repercussions of idiotic evil.

9/29/2018: Just a reminder that the libtard cabal called the UN says Trump’s immigration policies amount to child torture. But what do they know? They just use facts and logic.

9/28/2018: Not an article from today but it’s important to remember the kind of repugnant people who are enforcing Trump’s repugnant policies. I guess his thugs try their best to emulate their master’s sexual crimes.

9/26/2018: An editorial by the libtard propaganda machine called The Washington Post. They employ such dastardly tactics such as reason, facts, and science. They slam the new Trump policy to deny permanent residence to poor people. They do it in a much more eloquent way than I do so that is why I’m pointing it out.

9/24/2018: Hey there, rep0ublikkkan voters (specifically the 99% of you that will need to rely on social security eventually)! Your orange overseer’s immigration policies are fucking with your ends. Hope that ramen diet treats you well when you’re in your twilight years. Assholes.

9/23/2018: I’m not a fighter. I’m a writer. I’m a shit talker. But I’m happy to report there are people out there fighting for immigrants. I hope I get to see decency (a rare trait in humanity) overcome this regime.

9/22/2018: In another horrific act, the Trump regime has decided to lower visas available for immigrants who are likely to need public assistance. To prey on the most vulnerable is the most repugnant posture possible.

9/20/2018: The thing is that the mouth breathing racists that take shelter and comprise the vast majority of the republikkkan voting base will never read this silly daily update of mine. If they did, they would label it fake news. They instead flock to grossly misleading clickbait memes because that reassures them that they are actually the good guys and Obama, who they seem to miss more than Democrats do, is the real American Satan.

9/19/2018: As with most things conceived by the American National Socialists (the GOP and Fuhrer Trump), there are evil corporations making a lot of money off jailing innocent children. Boycott them.

9/18/2018: Here is a very good person trying to raise funds for a good family that is being treated horribly by this horrible regime. Please check it out and donate if you can.

9/17/2018: The American Nazi Regime (commonly known as the Trump administration) has further reduced the amount of refugees that the United States will accept. They lowered it from 45,000 to 30,000. I really don’t see the need to reduce it incrementally. Grand Wizard Trump only cares about what his mouth breathing base likes so why doesn’t he just stop taking refugees altogether? America first, right?

9/14/2018: I don’t understand. This regime insists they are just following a Democratic Party enacted law. But shockingly, no administration before has locked up as many immigrant children. Seems like these novel results might indicate novel behavior.

9/13/2018: The paramilitary racism enforcement gang, officially known as ICE, is asking for more money to continue executing the orange monster regime’s crimes against humanity goals.

9/11/2018: Never forget…that the United States, as self-appointed policeman of the world, has caused directly and indirectly MILLIONS of deaths across the world in pursuit of capitalist ideology and colonialism. Don’t believe me? Google American military intervention in the 19th. 20th and 21st century. I’m happy to report that some POC families are punching back with the only thing Trump respects: money.

9/10/2018: Another horrible consequence video that shows what’s happening to innocent children thanks to the chief grand wizard of the United States and his klansmen.

9/9/2018: Take a listen to this podcast. It’s about a brutal military regime in 1970’s Argentina. Not only did they take children away from those they deemed enemies of the state, they would reunite the children with other family members because they were afraid those families should raise them to oppose the dictatorship.. eventually the junta ended and many of the monsters who were responsible for disappearing thousands were convicted of their crimes. Isn’t it great that this regime shares policy ideas with a totalitarian state? My only fear is that 45 will never gave any serious consequences.

9/8/2018: I haven’t asked my Republican parents what they would have done if the American immigration authorities had separated my sister and I from them when we fled to the United States and applied to be political refugees. I imagine they would feel no different than the refugees currently suffering this atrocity at the behest of 45’s shock troops.

9/7/2018: In a completely predictable development, the Trump amorality machine is now taking steps to circumvent court deadlines to reunite children. It’s really kind of impressive how this regime manages to add a new layer of evil to this effort so often.

9/6/2018: I’m not really impressed with this conservative resistance inside the white house. Not once in this opinion piece is a single mention of this regime’s horrific child separation policy. But the writer makes sure to note that: “The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.” I don’t see how tearing children from their parents is anything but amoral. But apparently, this principled resister doesn’t think it ranks mentioning.

9/3/2018: Today is Labor Day in the States. In honor of the good people who do the least appreciated work, who are often immigrants, documented and otherwise, please donate to SEIU. It’s an organization that is fighting for those with the least influence.

9/2/2018: Check out the PBS Frontline episode on the Trump regime separation abomination. The more you know, the more you should get angry. The more you get angry, the more likely you are going to do something concrete. Every action, no matter how small, lodged against that monstrous policy, is significant.

8/31/2018: A thoroughly depressing review of Trump-made atrocity. I know it’s the New York Times and only us libtards read it. And they have this terrible habit of using facts and intelligent reporting. They’re no Fox News – thank f*cking god.

8/29/2018: Some tips on how everyone can fight back against this regime’s amoral enterprises. RESIST!

8/28/2018: Echoes of his comments on Trayvon Martin, Obama asserts what every parent should: That these children separated from their parents at the border could be his children. Empathy does not exist with the current regime.

8/27/2018: Just another editorial summing up the litany of evil perpetrated by this regime against the most vulnerable. Please visit Justice In Motion. They are trying to right a bit of these horrific wrongs.

8/26/2018: this racist regime really doesn’t like refugees – not just children but adults, too. They’re letting less and less refugees into the country. Democrats are fighting but they don’t have much leverage. If anyone tried to tell you that the GOP is the lesser of two evils, you should just stop discussing politics with them. You might wanna consider not discussing anything else with them.

8/25/2018: Separated children taken in by foster parents are waking up screaming in the middle of the night. My dream is that some day, every day, as Trump grows older and fatter and even more stupid, he will be plagued with horrific nightmares. Hopefully they will plague him so much that he will want to end his despicable life. Yeah, I said it. I mean it. He’s a raging narcissist so wouldn’t that end be appropriate?

8/24/2018: a bipartisan report concludes that the Trump regime’s zero tolerance policy has exacerbated an already terrible situation. The only shock here is that both parties actually came together to do something. Only this administration’s evil and incompetence could make that happen.

8/23/2018: Apparently the regime’s private prison merchants are not satisfied with being paid to tear human rights away. They are also forcing immigrant detainees to work for free, violating human trafficking laws. So besides traumatizing children for life in a reprehensible policy, they are also bringing back slavery. Well, one of the most famous recent Republican losers, Roy Moore, openly pined for the good old days of the antebellum south.

8/22/2018: The Daily never aired their 2nd part of their expose on the child separation abomination. But because two of Herr Trump’s storm troopers had rough day in court, the Times had to have the Daily have an episode discussing the developments. I really hope this is the beginning of the end for this regime. But that assumes the people and Republican elected officials of this country have any kind of decency. I’m not holding my breath.

8/21/2018: Here’s Part 1 of a story from The Daily, a New York Times podcast. Not that anyone who isn’t a stupid piece of shit doesn’t already know this, but this evil was 100% born of Trump and his henchmen and all their lies and obfuscation just add an evil cover up to an evil policy from an evil organization. And this podcast shines a light on it.

8/20/2018: A mother had her two sons taken away from her because ICE records say she is a gang member. But El Salvador’s government says she is not. To top off this incompetence, the ICE pieces of shot separated the two brothers from each other and one is autistic. Thanks a lot, white folks.

8/19/2018: So things must be getting better now that the Trump regime has been forced by courts to reunite children, right? Wrong. More kids are separated from their parents. You couldn’t write a novel with this much evil and incompetence.

8/17/2018: This is not a recent development but I would not forgive myself if I didn’t mention one of the choices examples of shit to come out of maybe the nastiest cunt on the planet: Ann Coulter, who we all hope looks like she does because she is dying from some horrifically painful disease, said the children separated from their parents at the border were actors. I know she’s just spouting ludicrous things to give her mouth breathing fan base more to lust over but I really can’t wait till she’s dead so I can shit on her grave.

8/16/2018: To a child, this is the equivalent of a Sophie’s Choice:

“In a shelter on Long Island, Nico has been forced to make a decision much too traumatic for any 14-year-old: return to Guatemala and risk death, or stay in the U.S. to pursue relief and potentially never see his parents again.”

What kind of person enacts a policy that results in this kind of evil? No kind of person. Only a vile monster would do so. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when a monster does monstrous things.

8/15/2018: in a SHOCKING development, it turns out the Republican architect of the childhood, Stephen Miller, is a GIANT immigration hypocrite.

8/14/2018: A photo and text essay of various components of the border crisis. I imagine sh*tbag 45 must enjoy flipping through photos of children crying and border patrol stormtroopers spreading fear and pain.

8/13/2018: I couldn’t find anything new and horrific after a quick search on this subject so I’m pushing familiesbelongtogether.com because they’re fighting against these monsters from this amoral regime.

8/12/2018: A toddler wants to die after being separated and subsequently reunited with his father. Sounds like a great summer camp experience to me.

8/9/2018: A toddler died shortly after leaving an ICE detention center. The private contractor basically denied all responsibility and said ICE was in charge of medical care. ICE hasn’t commented. I’m sure the toddler’s death has NOTHING to do with being traumatically detained in a jail with government jack booted thugs as his medical stewards. This regime and their uniformed killers deserve to burn in Hell.

8/8/2018: So the Gesta-er-I mean ICE mother*ckers are cranking the air conditioning to extreme levels so detained asylum seekers are freezing. The ICE mother*ckers even take away any extra blankets from people so they only get one blanket which is not enough. In a sworn statement, “Maria’s 4-year-old son had become “very sick” because of the cold, it notes.” I’d like to throw these ICE mother*ckers in a freezer and forget to come back.

8/6/2018: In a Virginia detention center, Inhumane treatment such as “children as young as 14 stripped naked, shackled, strapped to chairs, their heads encased in bags, left for days or longer in solitary confinement, and in some cases beaten and bruised”. Even younger children were subjected to equal or worse treatment in a detention center in Texas.

8/4/2018: Ivana says the separation of children from their parents at the border was a low point for her. I’m sure it was very hard to deal with the situation while her three children sit comfortably by her in her mansion.

8/3/2018: The Trump regime wants the ACLU to find the parents who were deported without their children. It’s one thing to be evil, which Trump and his dogs are. It’s another to cause great immoral damage and try to force an organization with a fraction of its resources and no liability to undo their evil.

8/2/2018: Apparently, HHS warned the Trump administration that separating kids at the border was a bad idea. The most surprising thing about this story is that there was an actual Trump official who had the IQ high enough to realize this.

7/31/2018: So they’re dosing kids now. Can’t imagine why a kid would need a sedative in an allegedly safe and healthy environment. Laura Ingraham says the centers are like summer camps. People on Fox News on fair and balanced, right?

Funny thing is…I don’t remember needing meds when I went to summer camp.

“Rich, white men have been creating and solving problems for centuries. Where’s our history month?”

Sadly, that “joke” is really how things are. They are how things have always been and you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think they will always be this way.

7/27/2018: I don’t believe my usual commentary is needed for this update. I’ll generally make light of any horrific thing but I’m not feeling that today. You can read the full story here. I personally cannot believe haphazardly built and staffed concentration camps for children resulted in unforeseen and horrific consequences.

7/25/2018: in a mind boggling display of evil, the Trump SS (or ICE as they are legally known) may have deported hundreds of parents WITHOUT THEIR KIDS. Just when I think this regime can’t go any lower, they exceed my expectations. Bravo!

7/23/2018: be careful what you wish for… remind me not to complain about no new fresh updates on this story. .It turns out haphazardly constricted kiddie jails staffed by racist and xenophobic government thugs don’t constitute the best living environment.

7/20/2018: on the home pages of The Washington Post and The New York Times, there is not one single article or opinion piece on the separation of children from undocumented immigrants. This story first broke in May and I’m not criticizing the papers for featuring new stories. This just feels like the American populace’s goldfish sized memory has played right into the standard Republican playbook that’s employed after any incident that’s embarrassing to the GOP. This play is called just wait and they’ll forget. Hell, it’s worked for all the mass shootings. And I get that rage is not something that can be sustained for long periods for most people. I guess the update here is that it bummed me out that there is no update.

7/11/2018: In a shocking article, anti-immigration sentiment, championed by the conservative White right, is based on racial resentment.

7/4/2018: Today is Independence Day in the United States of America. An amoral fucker named thomas jefferson wrote the document that declared the 13 colonies’ freedom from the British Empire. The bit that I wanna focus on goes like this: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” What does this have to do with Trump brand concentration camps? Well it says “All men,” right? It doesn’t say just men who are citizens of the United States, right? It doesn’t say “except for undocumented immigrants,” right? And then there’s that bit about “pursuit of happiness”. I get there are people out there who don’t like their kids. But they’re a relatively small subset. And I think it’s safe to say that not every father whose had his child or children taken from him by ICE agents hates their children. Sure, maybe some do. But let’s say it’s not 100%. So I guess this country, now that many parents have NOT all been reunited with their children and it looks less and less likely that they will be, is not really living up to this propaganda statement. These men who have been separated from their children certainly look to be impeded from their pursuit of happiness (oh and that liberty thing, too). If you consider the amoral, racist, cowardly, hypocritical, raping human fecal matter who wrote these noble words and you consider the grotesque crimes he committed and protected, you begin to realize these words are nothing more than empty slogans.

7/3/2018: Sessions, one of Trump’s dogs, recently decided that asylum seekers, while waiting for their extremely long review process to be completed, cannot seek work. It’s ok. Most of these asylum seekers are probably independently wealthy people or have access to family in the United States that can host them and pay for all their living expenses. Those seekers were stealing jobs that should be going to real Americans, right? Do you have any idea how many real Americans are desperately trying to get work picking crops on farms? It’s a crisis!

6/24/2018: Trump calls undocumented immigrants invaders. “We cannot allow all of these people to invade our country,” trump tweeted. (See screen following screen capture in case the human fecal stain decides to delete the tweet – who am I kidding – that would require shame or remorse.) Yeah, those armies of children monstrous swarm ready to flow into our sacred land steal all the education and welfare from the poor, marginalized white ruling class.

6/22/2018: Here’s a detailed explanation of Trump’s executive order. Like most legal documents, it is open to interpretation and promises little. And as is common with this regime, it does not address all the salient issues as one would expect a competently written document to do. Further, if we care to interpret the intent and spirit of the order to indeed attempt to put an end to child separation, even in cases when parents are criminally charged, it’s curious to me why the pentagon was ordered to prepare itself to shelter 20,000children. Obama did the same thing on a smaller scale. But if the vaguely announced intent of this regime is to keep families together why isn’t the pentagon being ordered to make room for adults as well? Like I wrote yesterday, this order is just a legal document, historically one of the weakest and most transgressed ways to keep a promise.

6/21/2018: Trump, in a miraculous development, and despite his statements to the contrary, has ordered his henchmen to stop prosecuting families, thereby effectively ending their terror experiment (probably – I don’t give much credence to a piece of paper until I see it executed).
